Times when playing slack is most useful:

After spending the day teaching my teenage daughter how to drive a standard shift car, I must say that there is no sweeter way to recover fractured and jangled nerves than spending a few hours playing slack on the back lanai. Mahalo to all who are willing to teach Ki Ho'alu to wannabes like me, and a big mahalo and aloha nui to you Mark, for getting me started.

P.S. If you live in Steamboat Springs, CO... watch out. My daughter will be arriving soon, driving an 01 white, Subaru Impreza with Oregon plates - just give her plenty of stall room on steep hills and you should be ok.

Maggie - this music is so amazing...it was the first thing I heard when I came out of anesthesia from quadruple bypass surgery. It was what sustained me during an almost panic attack in the tube of an MRI; and it brings me GREAT joy.

I thank all of the musicians, famous and not so famous, who share their music with those of us who appreciate their gifts.

Me ke aloha
Malama pono,
Wanda

That's cause there was a radio/CD player in the room, so I brought a CD from my car in & played it. It was Reverend Dennis Kamakahi's "Pua Ena". The nurse enjoyed it, too.
